JEWISH MUSEUM Cape Town, Western Cape

Worth the visit. Get to learn so much about South African Jewish history. The staff were also friendly and offered to answer any questions. The holocaust museum across is also on the same premises.There are also nice cafe and restaurant on site and around the area.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure

Always plenty to learn here. Definitely worth the guided tour, having been before on my own. Lots of stories and interesting tidbits added that were of interest to the group I was with. The Director knows his space and the community history. I was far more engaged than taking photos.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure

Upon entering the museum grounds, you feel like you‘ve reached a little paradise within the city. However, the exhibition is not up to par with the exceptional exterior. There are next to no exhibits, instead you are overwhelmed with badly formated text conveying very little information, while a cacophony of video testimonials prevents you from focusing. I recommend skipping the museum and enjoying the peace and comfort of the grounds from the café.

Amazing....and not just focused on 1 religion but the acceptance of all of them and respect shown to all religions as well. I really learned a lot from a religion that is hardly spoken about other than bring linked with the holocaust.

I recently visited the Jewish museum in Cape Town and was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information and artifacts on display. The self-guided tour allowed me to explore at my own pace and really take in all the exhibits. One of the highlights for me was learning about the history of the Jewish community in South Africa. The museum did a great job of presenting the challenges and triumphs of this community in an engaging and thought-provoking way. I also really appreciated the attention to detail in the exhibits. Each one was well-curated and provided a wealth of information about the different cultural and historical aspects of Jewish life in South Africa. Overall, I would definitely recommend a visit to the Jewish museum in Cape Town. Whether you are interested in Jewish history or just want to learn more about the diverse culture of South Africa, this museum is a must-see.

The Eternal Scholar opened last night. Striking portrait photography by late Arnold Castle makes for an impressive exhibition. mapmyway.co.za

This is simply a museum that people should visit. You owe it to yourself and others. It absolutely brings the community, their believes, culture and history to life.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

This was so well set up, we chose to visit from the tour bus. We visited the holocaust memorial and it was such an eye opener. Very good and accurate information. You can spend hours in here just reading and observing the primary sources supplied here. Definitely worth a visit and the lady at the front was so lovely and informative.

Super interesting museum. We spotted that there was a braai for Chanukah and was very grateful to be invited along to celebrate with the community. It was a privilege to celebrate a wonderful Chanukah / World Cup with you. Thank you

Located across from the Holocaust museum, this interesting museum shows the history of the Jewish people in South Africa. A very-well laid out museum that shows the rich culture of South African Jews. If you take the time to visit the Holocaust museum, I recommend stopping in at the South African Jewish Museum as well.
